Postpartum Doula Services
Everyone says having a baby is a life-changing event and it is. But nobody says you have to do it alone. Postpartum services vary greatly from client to client but here are highlights of what I can do to help you feel more at peace:
Consultation by phone or in person to see if we are a good fit
Listening, reassurance, answering questions, emotional support for your family, or just sitting and chatting
Nurturing you as you learn to care for your new baby and your family adjusts
Evidence based education and assistance with newborn care
Establishing and supporting feeding, ensuring rest/shower
Bring baby to you in bed to nurse and then care for baby while you continue sleeping
Bottle feed while you pump and sleep
Formula feed while you sleep or a combination of any feeding method
Help with older siblings while you rest/shower
Light housework-laundry, dishes
Babywearing
Recognizing symptoms and screening for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Professional referrals and resources
Please note that I only offer postpartum services to my birth clients as a continuum of care.
